《Battlefield Restart (Original/Unedited)》Chapter 20: Combat Body
Advertisement
I look out the window in melancholy as my mind digested what had happened.
Leaving aside mother's hatred for Goblins, I think focus more on how I should proceed to upgrade my technique, allowing all the knowledge of modern science to not go to waste.
Let's go through everything step by step. First things first. I need to find the limit of my current Elemental Aura.
I don't feel tired right now, so I shouldn't waste any opportunity to train, especially when the task I'm supposed to complete is impossible.
I released my Aura and mimicked the five elements I knew of one by one.
The diamond-like glow turns into the colour is rubies as I used my ability to increase the strength of my muscles.
Then the Aura around me switched to all other elements until I reached the point of unleashing my Lightning Aura.
I shadow box empty air as my mind races with countless ideas on how to improve. I can't help but curse myself for thinking I was the only special person to have existed on Sphera.
The Sword God of the past is rumoured to have been an F Rank who could slay Mortal Gods using only his sword.
He was madman who trained to the pinnacle of swordsmanship with great hardship in order to reach the summit!
Why is it that I became so lazy after arriving in this magical world?
Forget it. I should be focusing on creating a new technique instead of uselessly asking the air for answers.
I need to reevaluate my strengths and weaknesses on a much deeper level.
My strengths are my martial arts and scientific knowledge whilst my weakness is my low Magical Talent.
If I was to pick the weakest strength among what I have, it would be my scientific knowledge, so I probably shouldn't rely on it too much to defeat enemies that are way stronger than me.

My biggest strength is the martial arts I've honed on the battlefield, so I should be using that as a base, my abilities need to close-combat ones.
I actually used a lot of knowledge regarding anatomy when I created the abilities of Level 2 Aura Manifestation.
My Lightning Aura mixed with my body's nervous system to increase my mind's natural cognitive perception.
My Water Aura mixed with my Immune System in order to increase my body's rate of regeneration,
My Earth Aura mixed with my skin in order to increase physical resistance.
My Fire Aura mixed with my muscles in order to increase its power physically and my Wind Aura mixed with my bones in order to lessen weight.
Simultaneously using these unique Arts wouldn't increase the Level of my Aura but mixing them together should work.
Lightning Aura is most useful to me when fighting stronger opponents due to its strong Anti-Magic effect, so I'm using that as the foundation of my new technique, then add Water Aura to it.
I stop punching and close my eyes in order to feel the Lightning Aura around me then try to connect it with my Water Aura in order to create a battery.
I don't really understand how particles of ice can gather electrical charge but I try to recreate than phenomenon with my blood. I condensed my Lightning Aura into my body and fused it together with my nervous system.
It's dangerous to experiment abilities in such a way but I have my Water Aura's: Regenerative Blood to help me heal if I was to injure myself.
The Lightning Aura within my nervous system successfully connects to immune system, but I wasn't done, my Aura headed towards my skin as well.
I connected every part of my body one by one using my mimicked Aura's.
The foundation was the nervous system that was enhanced using my Lightning Aura, so the effect of that Aura also passed onto each of body parts my other Aura's were enhancing.

Each of the four elemental Aura's were granted an additional physical effect.
Firstly. the immune system that was enhanced by my Water Aura gained the ability to store electrical energy.
Secondly, the skin that was reinforced by my Earth Aura gained the ability to store the purest form of Ether.
Thirdly, the muscles that were enhanced by my Fire Aura gained the ability to store a lot of kinetic energy.
Lastly, the bones that were lightened by my Wind Aura gained the ability to store and condense my own Mana.
The Aura that was being released outside my body returned into it and seeped into every fibre of my being.
It kept moving from my immune system, to my skin, to my muscles, to my bones and then back to my immune system again in a cycle that used my nervous system as a foundation.
My iris turned purple once again, but that was the only external change in my appearance, it would be hard for others to figure out just what was happening inside my body. After stabilising my ability, I put on Magicians Hand that Mark gifted me, then experimented by controlling the Mana stored within.
I didn't release a Spell, but instead moved the four slots of stored Mana into my bones, allowing it to quickly process it and convert it in its cycle.
The four additional abilities were interconnected with each other and created a balance of energy within me.
If I was to absorb too much Mana within my bones, it would convert into electrical energy within my blood, the cycle continues by converting the electrical energy into Ether if the charge within my blood was too strong.
As a precaution, I also made it so I wouldn't overload by expelling energy I can't convert into attacks.
The more time passed, the more I familiarity I gained concerning this new ability of mine, the sun had risen but I still stubbornly trained.
"Simon, what are you doing?" My mother asks after entering the room.
It seems my promise to mother yesterday had brightened her mood.
She doesn't even seem to want to bring up yesterday's promise so I didn't mention it. My mind was calm as I stopped using my new ability.
"I've almost created my own version of Level 3 Aura Manifestation." I reply.
"Almost complete!? That quick?!" My mother was shocked by my answer.
"I just need to adjust it a little before it's actually ready for use in combat. I named it: 'Combat Body' for now." My mother's shock made quite proud of my achievements. Right, there's also a few things I need to experiment as well.
"Where's Merilin?"
"She's in our room. Is there some other Spell you wanted to teach her?" Mother replies before asking another question.
"I just wanted to test something."
"Then it can wait. There's someone who wants to meet you."
"Hmmm? Who?"
"The Young Miss, that's who." At my mother's reply, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked, but mother didn't give me time to react and pulled me to the training grounds specifically made for the Young Miss to train her abilities.
"I have work to do so have fun." After leaving behind those words, my mother quickly left, a playful smile etched across her face as she laughed.

Returning to No Applause, Only More of the Same
Kreig was summoned to the other world 130 years ago, the last 30 of which were spent in a constant, vengeful war against any army that would attempt to subjugate him. Once he returned, he found out that only 10 years had passed. He was given the title of War of the North but he never even knew about it. After all, nobody could get close enough to tell it to him. But that all changes one day when a portal opens, allowing Kreig and a small band of soldiers to enter one of many portals that leads to Earth. As it turns out these portals have been opening ever since he was summoned, giving the people of Earth abilities that the world he was summoned to only used to have. But now... now, he has returned. Longing for his former life of peace and understanding, he allows authorities to capture him on the spot, only to be faced with deeply personal questions, such as "who are you?" "what have you been doing for the past 10 years?" and "why is your level so high?" -------- ...Have you ever read a story where the main guy who got isekai'd returns to Earth. Say, for example, FFF-class trashhero or the necromancer of Seoul station? Say, what if the authorities actually became aware what kind of monster had returned to Earth? What if they actually tried to use them for something? Kreig's been in the other world for 130 years, has experienced three great wars, and he isn't okay. Mentally speaking, that is. He's been imprisoned, gained and lost comrades, been betrayed... The whole lot. By now, all he wants is to put it all behind him, something the world doesn't seem to want to let him. (Irregular updates, mostly written for fun, no strong planning)
8 295Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
